Xbox 360: Best Games
Arguably the most popular console on the market at the moment, the Xbox 360 has certainly enjoyed the majority of great titles over the past few months. Here we take a look at a few of those that have seen major popularity recently;
Banjo and Kazooie may be a surprising starter for you, but this little gem has been enjoying rave reviews and popularity. Returning to our consoles once again, this unlikely team saw their beginnings on the N64 and haven't looked back since!
Nuts and Bolts expands on the gaming mechanics of the original, as our heroes
gather what are called Jiggies, in order to build vehicles in which to
quickly navigate the game's large world.
Vehicle creation is what really stands out in this title. Utilizing the various components you acquire throughout your travels in order to craft a range of crazy looking and questionably functioning vehicles! The possibilities for this function are nigh on endless, akllowing for hours of crazty fun!
Fable 2 is one of those games that comes around every once in a while and gets everyone talking, and for good reason. This is a game wherein almost anything is possible, offering the player choices ranging from the ethical standpoint of their character, to the journey itself and the destiny that awaits. Fable 2 offers not just a game, but an entire world free to explore as the player sees fit, down to the most minute details.
As mentioned, in Fable II the decisions you make will have an overwhelming impact on the general flow of your game. If you make good
decisions you become holy, and after a time your appearance could even
begin to resemble that of an angel. If you make evil decisions, after a
time your character will start to turn dark and demon-like, sometimes
developing horn growth. These changes not only effect you, but your pet
also.
Fable II offers a gaming experience that promises to be unique with each play-through, allowing this title to be enjoyed and replayed to your hearts content!
Our final title, and perhaps the single most popular game available to the 360 currently, is Gears of War 2. Gears of War has quickly become
considered near classic due to it's over-the-top battles and cover
system. What came before on the first Gears game has now been perfected, offering gamers an extremely smart and intuitive covering system which go hand in hand with the much loved gore and splatter!
Your armoury and inventory are given a welcome boost this time around, with new weapons including the flamethrower, mortar and the brilliantly named 'mulcher'. Grenades can also now be used as proximity mines and gas grenades.
In Gears of War 2, close-combat is the most intense of all. Enemies can be used as living sheilds, chainsaw battles are a button bashing whirlwind of death and fallen enemies can be literally stomped to death!
For all these reasons and more, it's easy to see why Gears of War 2 is hailed as THE Xbox 360 game to own!
